Paying an Escort's Taxi

[+ harey]

Hi. Have you ever asked a client to cover your taxi or parking? I'm wondering if that's over the line when the rate is already pretty high. The scenario is an outcall to my hotel. Thanks.

Depends on your City and parking situation --- If you are in Manhattan/Boston/LA/Chicago/SanFran/Etc where parking is a fortune - like $70 for 2 hours and your gentleman caller is driving in from the burbs at 3 am to fuck you till you pass out, then no - parking is not unreasonable. If he is coming 16 blocks and is just to lazy to call for a cab/lyft/uber then yeah that is unreasonable.

 

No one pays me to go to work -- But then again I don't have an 12in cock and abs on which you can wash your cumstained jockstrap . . . .

[Juan Vancouver]

I wrote a whole answer thinking you are en escort, but reading your message again I think you are a client.

 

I charge the same rate for downtown calls.

 

Going outside of the downtown area I ask for the roundtrip carfare on top of my rate.

 

If I have to travel longer than 40 minutes each way, I will accept only a two hours session, plus my roundtrip carfare.

Are you sure you don't have a 12 inch cock? That's not what the boys say...

It depends on where your hotel is and where the escort is coming from. In larger cities with readily available public transit - Boston, NYC, DC, Chicago - if it's during the time the trains are operating (it's 24 hours in NYC) and the escort lives in the city and you're staying in the city, I don't think you need to pay for transportation. If he's coming from/going to outside the area, or if you're in a place that isn't easily walk-able or doesn't have public transit, I think it's fair to reimburse travel expenses. Most escorts, myself included, have already thought about this and have a way they approach it. For example, I live in NYC where there are 24 hour trains and most of the city is walk-able/accessible to public transit. I don't charge for transportation costs within the city. If someone lives outside of the area, I have travel rates based on where I'm going, and I discuss that with the client ahead of time. Regardless of the situation, generosity is never a bad thing.

Client here. An escort has never asked, but I always offer. Many times escorts will include that expense in their fee. If I ask an escort to come to me, then taxi and or parking fees are on me. I would think that is assumed.

[Beancounter]

I was always under the impression that if the outcall price was higher than the incall rate the price differential was to pay for incidentals like transportation to and from the client's place of residence. If the incall and outcall rates are the same I usually tip enough to make sure the escort can cover his transportation costs. Escorts? Am I making the correct assumption?

[gwguy]

I have only been asked to pay taxi fees once. I wasn't happy about it but I paid it for him. Had a good time with him but haven't hired him again because of the taxi thing. Funny thing is, he would have gotten a tip for at least what he was asking for the taxi fee. But he ended up getting no tip and a client that probably won't hire him again.

This goes to show we all look at this differently. I charge for my time, so I will not spend hours travelling to a client to be compensated for one. I will not use public transport, even if there is a broad web of public transport available.

You seem to miss the fact that it would have not been a tip. It would have barely covered his cab fare.

 

Are you suggesting then that this would be his tip and he would have to pay from his pocket for the right to see you?

 

If you had trouble paying his cabfare, why instead you didn't go to his place?

Not at all. But this particular escort only does outcalls in Vegas. I was just expecting his travel to have already been worked into his rate or advanced notice that he would want more than his rate. It wasn't until we met that he asked for $50 for the taxi.

[Juan Vancouver]

That's a different thing altogether.

 

Surprise charges AFTER the fact are never a good thing.

But at the same time, now that thenewguy656 knows about the cab fare and has experienced a good time, why not venture another date with a 'good time' escort?

I know for many a good time overrides lots of things. For me, once burned, I would be very leery engaging again with the same person. As we learned from the sad thread about an escort having a 2500 dollar check cancelled after MANY red flags, abuse is something that keeps escalating.

 

Once someone tricks me into something, I am more likely done.

Outcall pricing should include reasonable time/transportation costs, common in the area where the transaction is taking place. If the transportation time/cost is higher then a conversation should take place prior to setting up a meeting. No (financial) surprises please!

I recently hosted an escort for our first daily - 10 hours during the day. When he quoted me the rate, it was the average rate you would charge for same city overnight. Here is the catch, he had to drive 4 hours to see me. I offered airfare...he refused it. I offered to come to him, he refused it. We had a great time and as I was about pay him, I asked if I could at least cover his gas...he again refused.

 

I felt like I needed to "educate" this young man...and as I started my wise man speech about rates, he interrupted and said: "the reason I'm an escort is bc I like running my own business...I don't want anyone else telling me what I need to do or not. What I'm charging you is what feels right to me." The shock on my face must've been evident. He grinned, leaned in, kissed me, and said: would love to do this again. I then realized what a smart businessman he really is. He wasn't looking for a transaction or to be "fairly" compensated. He is after long- lasting business relationships. I also felt the level of responsibility & trust he is placing on me as a client. I need to live up to his expectation that I will play fair always by his business model rules. I love being surprised by smart, confident men who run their business model their way and they know exactly why. Biggest turn-on ever! I already scheduled our next appointment.

Kim Kardashian should have not have a "career". Donald Trump should not have ran. Hillary should be transparent. People should be mindful of their carbon emissions. White pants should never be worn in a formal occasion.

 

There are so many shoulds! Some of these are personal opinions, some respond to common sense. We can talk about the shoulds of escorting till the cows come home, pass out of boredom and die, and still some people would include their travel in their rate, some would not.

 

Truth is that there is no industry standard. If you want to not be surprised by either unscrupulous providers or forgetful ones, you must make sure to ask every single thing that is relevant and then stick to your guns.

I have great respect for you and your responses on this forum. It just seems like sometimes both clients and escorts in their wariness to transact their business tend to seek and find THE disqualifier to cease all transactions.

 

How does one grow to know someone else if they don't continue to transact?

 

Almost makes me want to change my pseudonym here to "Once and DONE"

[down_to_business]

The feeling of being nickeled and dimed has caused me to walk away from at least one or more escorts who would have otherwise gotten lots of repeat business from me as I tend to repeat bookings with escorts I enjoy their company and who treat me well (from months to years). I hope demanding that extra $20 cab fare on top of your full weekend rate was worth it.

 

I am another person who believes that the higher outcall rate includes reasonable travel expenses to me by default unless otherwise negotiated by the escort PRIOR to the engagement (i.e. in a 10 mile radius)

Transportation has only been a issue for one escort hire. It was Tristan Waters, several years ago. I had wanted to hire Tristan for a long time and had a great time. He was staying at a hotel some distance from center city, but there was public transportation. Tristan was fine with public transportation in Philadelphia. But, I insisted on paying for a taxi.

That what I thought as well. I'm actually kind of surprised at the responses in this thread.

[instudiocity]

I always wondered why the In-call prices were ever lower... chances are the escort is going to need clean sheets and possibly clean towels --- who's gonna pay to wash all that much less replace them on a regular basis???

 

It's all just BS and the BS is because people are just full of BS...

 

I've maintained my longest relationship ever - 12 years this month simply by closing my eyes, keeping my thoughts to myself and saying, "Yes, dear!" And I adore him - BS and all. And he's got just as big a load of bull crap as anyone on this board.

It's the assumption I've made.

 

I wonder about, and would like to hear from guys who are not in big cities. What's travel like and how do you manage your travel costs? I live in Manhattan and with 24 hour trains, I can relatively easily get anywhere I need to go. I don't charge for my travel time within the city - it doesn't feel right, I love riding the train, I love moving around this city, and using the train to get around feels like what we all do here - there isn't anything special about hopping on to get somewhere. Outside of the city, I charge for the cost of transportation along with a travel fee based on where I'm going - it isn't my full rate, but (what I see as) a fair amount to account for time when I can't be with a client and get my full rate. But, I realize I live in a nice little bubble and my strategy might work for me, but I'm guessing it's a whole different ballpark if you escort in Peoria.

My common sense tells me this:

 

1. If an escort travels to a city to conduct business for several days it makes sense to request different rates for in-/outcalls.

2. If a client requests an escort to travel a substantial distance (by car, train, or plane) the transportation cost is on the client.

3. When in doubt, simply ask the escort if there are transportation costs.

4. When in doubt, simply tell the client there is an additional transportation cost.

 

Problem solved.
